You can relax in your room or explore nearby handicraft markets. At evening, you will be having welcome dinner along with cultural program with trekking guides and team leader.

Today, we will visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhnath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and Swayambhunath. Later in the evening, you will meet with the trek guide and have a quick briefing session about the trek.

We will fly to the Nepalgunj from Kathmandu. Nepalgunj is a wonderful town located in western Nepal, near the Nepal-India border. Once we reach this wonderful Terai Town, we will explore amazing sites here. 

We will take a morning flight to Jhupal. Once we land, we will join the rest of the trekking staff and then begin our trek. We will traverse a terraced field, the Bheri River, and a narrow gorge. Continuing our walk, we eventually reach Dunai. After setting up the camp for the overnight stay, we will take an afternoon walk around the small town of Dunai.

We will start trekking from the dunai, following the trail along bheri and barbung river bank. Along the way, you can see the deep gorges, hanging bridges, and remote villages. Then, we will take an uphill trail that goes through the pine woods to the open terraced field of Tarakot. Once we reached Tarakot, we set up camp in the open space for the stay.

Continuing our trek after breakfast, we hike along the Tarap Chu River. We will cross the suspension bridges, pass places like Laisicap, kanigaon, before reaching laini odar. The path is mostly steep uphill. 

From laini odar, we will trek through steep trail through the deep gorges and scary cliffs. Untill the chhyugar, there is easy laved lath with flat stone. From there, a little further, there is camping site of toltol.

We will trek from the toltol to dho tarap, with the gradual uphill in the starting. The trails goes from the northwest bank of tarapkhola to ghyamghar. Then, we will leave the narrow gorge. Before arrival in dho tarap, we will cross the langa. 

Today's the much needed acclimatization day in dho tarap. We will hike around the village, explore Ribo Bumpa Monastery, explore the unique cuisines, gain some cross cultural understanding from locals, and many more. 

We will then continue our lower dolpo trek to numa lanbase camp, enjoying the view of the lush grassland on both sides of the river. We slowly take an uphill trail dotted with rocks and a steep landscape. Getting out of the village, we cross the suspension bridge over Kanger Khola and ascend uphill along the wild and barren, rugged trail to the base camp of Numa La.

After morning breakfast, we walk on the uphill trail to the top ridge of Numa La. Once you reach the top ridge of the Numa La pass, you can have a mesmerizing view of the surrounding landscape. After some time enjoying the splendid view from the top ridge of the camp, we slide down, following Gyambo Khola, to camp at Danighar.

Right after breakfast, we commence our hike with a vertical uphill climb along the shabby yak trail up to the top of Baga La. Reaching the top of Baga La, we will see the views of the Kanjirowa Mountain ranges. After spending a wonderful moment here, we descend the pass into a deep ravine at first and then cross the frozen stream to open space. The final push down through the beautiful meadow; we finally arrive at our campsite in Temche.

The trek today is much easier as compared to the past two days of trekking. We start our morning hike with a downhill walk to Yak Kharka. Along the trekking trail to the Phoskundo, you will have numerous opportunities to observe the astonishing scenery of the mountain panorama and mother nature’s beauty. Observing the beauty of nature will make you forget all the trouble you have gone through, during the whole hike. We will take a break for a while to capture Mother Nature's beauty through the lenses of a camera and create a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Throughout your trek today, we will be accompanied by magnificent views of the towering cliff as well. After a continuous hike for about 3 hours of traversing through lush vegetation of pine, junipers, and cypress, we eventually arrive at Ringmo. This small village is a famous Bon settlement in the region. Strolling further downhill for 30 minutes brings us to the mesmerizingly beautiful lake, Phoskundo. 

Today is the day off to explore around Phoskundo Lake and Ringmo village. Once we have our breakfast, we will take a hike to explore the magnificent Lake Phoskundo. This lake is famous for its magnificent turquoise color and spectacular scenery. Walking around this pristine freshwater lake is relaxing and enjoyable.

In the daytime, we will take a short hike to Ringmo village and also head to Tshowa. We will also visit the 900-year-old gompa nestling at the top ridge above Phoskundo Lake. This sacred place is the best place to let your spirit go free. In the evening, we will head back to the camp.

The hike today is the downhill walk to Shyanta. After having breakfast, we begin our hike towards Shyanta. At first, we slide downward for about 3 hours until we arrive at the village of Chekpa. We then hiked on a rocky trail, passing through barren hills and tiny Bon Po settlements, for an hour. Before we arrive at Shyanta, we begin to see the sign of tropical forest coming into our sight. Once we reached the picturesque place of Shyanta, we set up camp for the overnight stay.

Today is the final day of our trekking journey. After spending the night in the small town of Shyanta, we will start our morning walk from this town. Leaving the Shyanta, our journey leads us to the comfortable trail towards Jhupal. On the trail, we can also find Jeeps running to and fro. However, we will trek to Jhupal, observing and exploring nature along the way. After 6 hours of trekking, we will eventually reach Jhupal. We will stay at Jhupal for the night.

Today we will have one last view of this wonderful region. After an early breakfast, we will board the earliest flight to Nepalgunj from Jumla. Once we land at Nepalgunj, we will board another flight to Kathmandu. From the Tribhuvan International Airport, we will guide you up to your hotel.
